I just checked Robosats for India and zero offers for sell or buy related to the INR, you can create your own offers for buying and selling, it is worth trying for sure.

Another option will be opening an account in WISE based in UK, or Revolut. I am not 100% sure, but I believe you can open a bank account as a foreigner with no issues, once you do that, you will have a SEPA account to transact with Pocket for instance. You will be able to fund your EURO account from India using a bank to bank normal fiat transfer, using whatever is best for you.

Once you get your sats in your Pocket wallet, if your intention is to hold, transfer them to your cold wallet. If you are speculating for profit, keep it there and when ready sell it back in Pocket for Fiat

I suggest you consider getting acquainted with Robosats:

Best wishes!

Agree, IMO, for those willing to put the time, Robosats is king of the land. But we need adoption and most people wants convenience. That is why Strike, Cash App and Coinbase are winning big.

Pocket and Peach may not be fully ideal for those hard core private individuals but they beat conventional KYC by miles and are easy to work with and understand.

Unfortunately, business acumen and understanding of market mechanics is not abundant among many hard core bitcoiners, specially the ones that speak louder, quite antagonistic, they are a big part of the problem, the newbs are intimidated and confused by most of those individuals.

Those individuals will Ill speak of solutions like Peach and Pocket and will do worst for KYC solutions that are so necessary for the newbs, as Strike or Cash App or CASA, they do not get that the majority of people is not here for the tech or the Bitcoin ethos as I and possibly you, but for profits and they are happy with KYC and banks and the FIAT system. They dont get it, adoption is key, get them in, once in, let them learn and decide, many will understand Bitcoin and join the ranks.

You will observe some of them jump at this post for sure. I have seen you engage them before. My suggestion, ignore them and mute them, as if they do not exist, if you mute them, their comments show as hidden. Happy days!

The non KYC part either way is quite relevant, non KYC means that Pocket will not hold any photos of you and your passport or ID, nor your home address in their servers, that is already a big plus. Add to that is self custody from the getgo and it is even better.q

To buy and sell Bitcoin you will provide a Bank account, many banks in Europe are Bitcoin friendly (the irony, some things really change), every country with their own, and some internet base like WISE and Revolut are decent options, none is perfect, dealing with banks is never pleasant...

And I agree, buying Bitcoin not p2p with options like Robosats or Bisq or directly from miners (my favorite) is not flying under the radar as you well put it, but most people don't care about that, they trust banks and they want to buy Bitcoin, so this is a good option for them, all Pocket will have is their bank account details, which is miles better than conventional KYC.

Soon conventional banks will offer Bitcoin ETFs and soon after spot Bitcoin and they will custody it for their customers, those barriers may soon be erased completely either way, unless... Regulation in EU becomes tyrannical and only KYC Bitcoin is allowed and self custody wallets are banned, seems unlikely at this point but after so many years of battles and the well known incompetence of the EU leaders, nothing surprises me any more...
